[BottomLine 709]

While 13 members were throwing trash at their TVs when Michigan State kicked a meaningless field goal in the final moments, I was on my knees in front of the TV praying.  That was followed by yelling and dancing around the room.  My wife wanted to know if I bet on the game.  I said, "NO", then she wanted to know why was I so excited.  I replied with a big grin, "I got a 25 point bonus."  She looked at me like I had lost my mind.  Some things you just can't explain.

That chicanery at the end cost several folks a potential perfect game.
@LamarCheeks wins the Michigan St game with 174 pts, just one off perfection, getting IU's score right along with @Dhop @Gahoosierfan @RaceToTheTop and @steubenhoosier. @BottomLine @johnsoniu @Scotty R and @WayneFleekHoosier got MSU's score right. 

The aforementioned BottomLine and @Demo are tied for the overall lead through 7 games.
Also, an honorable mention to @Stuhoo for a low score to end all low scores. Just 999,942 pts off of 2nd to last. (Note: I take all predictions posted seriously)

I was one of the asswagons that picked Oregon over IU in this pool and now I am both ashamed and completely unable to win the pool.

So going forward? I will pick our beloved Hoosiers to win every week, and by ALOT.

 

[Scotty R 3,837]

If I hadn't missed the first 3 weeks of picking games I might be close to lead

My pick was very scientific. 

Outlined against a blue, gray 1988 November sky -- I sat in the Memorial Stadium stands as a college junior and watched 'roided-up Tony Mandarich and Sparty crush us 38-12. So for this year's tilt, I just reversed the score -- with the good guys winning. 

Turns out I was off by one damn point. I had visions of us holding MSU on their last drive to keep it at 38-10, then have 'Nando take a snap and run triumphantly out of the end zone for a 38-12 victory! 

[Dave from Dayton 4,169]

I beat Stuhoo, again!  I'm baaaad....

That is what you get for picking with your head instead of your heart.  :). I did that on the IL game!

I was equally daunted and picked Oregon thereby ruining my chances…..oh wait, I’m still T-1 so being good at the other games has some benefit as well.

I sucked with the other games too, though at least I picked IU in those. I must be self-punished! UCLA pick forthcoming.
